With the steep-sided valley in his visual DNA Robert Havard has developed a keen relationship between image and poetry over a lifetime of study teaching and practice. Havard studied with two eye-opening professors Stephen Reckert and José Maria Aguírre. He taught at several universitiesCardiff Los Angeles and Auckland among thembefore settling in Aberystwyth where the students and the wide horizons of Cardigan Bay were a joy. On retirement he taught briefly at Bristol and Cardiff the latter closing a circle begun forty years earlier as an undergraduate. His images are processed slowly and his first collection came out in his fifties: Look up without Laughing (Gomer 1998). As Spanish professor he focused on Lorcas generation of poets several of whom also painted. He learnt from these masters that for both painting and poetry it is the image that focusses the works power and meaning. He explored this in The Spanish Eye: Painters and Poets of Spain (Tamesis 2007) and it is their interaction that sparks Rhondda Burning.
